AGENDA SUBJECT: (a) Public Hearing:
To consider public comment regarding an ordinance amending the City's comprehensive plan,

savings, repealing and severability clauses; providing for an effective date; providing for a
penalty clause not to exceed $2,000 or the highest penalty amount allowed by law, whichever is
less; and providing for publication and caption hereof. The property is currently zoned as
Single Family Estate (SFE). The owners have requested a Planned Development (PD) zoning
to include Multiple Family Residential (MF-2) and Restricted Commercial (C-1) District
zoning with additional uses. The property is located generally southwest of CR 370 and east of
US Hwy 75, containing approximate 50.5300 acres more or less, in the F. T. Daffau Survey,
Abstract No. A0288. The property is owned by Two-J Partners LLLP.
This tract is adjacent and north of the property owned by the City of Anna that is within the
Creekside Development. Several concern citizens in opposition of the zoning request were at
the Planning and Zoning meeting, August 2, 2010. Some of the concerns expressed by the
citizens were the current lack of access, how this would affect their farm land and adequate
setbacks from the creek, emergency services, and noise pollution, and the value of their
property decreasing.
(b) ConsiderlDiscusslAction on adopting an ordinance amending the City's comprehensive
plan, zoning map, and zoning ordinance and changing the zoning of certain property, providing

SUMMARY: This request is in general conformance with the comprehensive plan. The
multi-family portion of the request is adjacent to Throckmorton Creek. On the comprehensive
Item No. I~~t'l
City Secretary's use only
plan multi-family uses are shown on the east side of the creek and not on the west side.
Generally, on the west side of the creek is being reserved for commercial uses. The staff is not
opposed to the location of the multi-family as long as the use does not spread out more towards
U.S. 75. The multi-family development should remain east of the U.S. 75 backer thoroughfare.
It should be noted that the multi-family density will be somewhat controlled by a density bonus
system. The more amenities that are placed in the development the more density you can have
up to a cap of24 units per acre.
The alignments for thoroughfares have also been deleted from the concept plan. At this time
there are too many unknowns for the City to establish where the thoroughfares need to be. The
tract will be impacted by the future extension of Hackberry Blvd. and a future U.s. 75 Backer
Thoroughfare that parallels U.S. 75. Additionally, when this tract develops a public
walking/jogging trail section will be required.
DefInition: Backer Road is a road that parallels a restricted access thoroughfare to provide
improved circulation.
PLANNING AND WNlNG: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval
of the zoning request at their meeting August 2, 2010, with the conditions that the multi family
element be restricted to the east of the U.S. 75 backer road. The vote was unanimous for
approval.

SUMMARY: This zoning request is in keeping with the comprehensive plan and the
philosophy of a sustainable neighborhood. The "NC" neighborhood commercial provides for
neighborhood uses that many people will walk to in a Ih mile radius. Additionally, the density

is 7,200 sq. ft. and the average lot size throughout the development is 8,400 sq. ft. The land
where this development is located is currently used for farming with water and sewer service in
the general area.
This site will be traversed by both Hackberry Blvd. on the south in 80 feet of right-of-way and
Ferguson Parkway on the west in 120' of right-of-way.
PLANNING AND ZONING: The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval
of the zoning request at their meeting August 2, 2010. The vote was unanimous.

construction of the water line improvements required for the Pawn Shop. The attached
Development Agreement outlines the terms of this agreement.

AGENDA SUBJECT: ConsiderlDiscussi Action regarding authorizing the City
Manager to sign a letter of engagement to perform the financial audit of the City of Anna,
Texas for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010.
SUMMARY: The City has received two proposals for the Audit for this year. One is
from Vail & Knauth, LLP. This is the company that prepared the audit for us last year.
Their proposed fee for the audit is $20,000 plus an additional $4,000.00 to $6,000.00 if a
single audit is required under the Single Audit Act because of the number of grants we
have received the current year. Last year the audit costs were $18,000.00 for the City
Audit and $6,000.00 for the audit on the Fire Department.
We also received a proposal from Rod Abbott, Certified Public Accountant. Rod Abbott
worked for Gregg & Company until about three years ago and prepared the Audits for the
City of Anna for at least 5 years before leaving Gregg & Company. After leaving Gregg
& Company he was a senior auditor with BKD, LLP an accounting firm in Dallas. He is
now the founder of the Rod Abbott, CPA firm in McKinney. His proposed fee for the
audit is $15,000 and an additional $3,000 if a single audit is required under the Single
Audit Act.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The staff recommends authorization for the City
Manager to sign a letter of engagement with Rod Abbott. Mr. Abbott has a number of
